EDITORIALS A Snazzy Car W .saw a picture tlu other day of a 1 ! Trt luxury automobile, modified especial ly to fit the needs of President Jimenez, of Venezuela. The .?.'5(),(K)() end result is, in tec h-ae lintro, the most. In the back seat President Jimenez has two telephones, a small bar, television a tape recorder and a footrcst which can carry two large guns. The television an tenna is installed on the rear bumper, in the center, and air-conditioning is carried in tjje ,trunk. The television set is a 17-incher. In addition, the rear seats are motor driven anil convert to a lounging position. All in all, it's a pretty sporty jalopy. The thought which occurs to us, however, is w hat might happen to the poor devil who bumps into the car, parking, or elsewhere. In the iirst place, he would probably knock down the television antenna, prob ably disturb the wiring, in addition to the other damage. If the damage couldn't be repaired in Venezuela, the car might have to be sent back to the United States. Further complicating the picture, one might well knock the glasses of lemonade oft the bar in the back of the car with a good rap on the rear bumper and run the ri!$k of seeing the rear seat occupants reach down for the gun-carrying section. The section is designed to carry several gren ades, so a tap on the bumper might set off quite a Latin explosion.

LINCOLN It is increasing ly apparent that the Carpenter Tax Committee is not going to let any grass grown under its fjet between now and 1959 when the next Legislature convenes. Terry Carpenter of Scottsbluif as chairman, was authorized by the 1957 legislature to investig ate violations of existing tax laws and recommend correct ive legislation. Since it inception, the com mittee has weathered the prob lem of internal strife and lack of operating funds, and is plun ging ahead with systematic county-by-county investigations. '-Saunders county has been checked. Mall now is being in vestigated. More will follow, iucluding Douglas and Lancas ter, Seotts Bluff. Box Butte, Kimball and Cheyenne. Sen. Carpenter, a fiery sen ator by record and man by nat ure, has already gotten into fields where most politicians Iar to tread. He summoned representat ives of big corporations, with major offices outside the slat? but who operate businesses in Nebraska, to explain their re cords on tax assessments. 1 If any refuse to come volunt arily, Carpenter said, subpoen as will be issued. - So far, the committee has discovered that the. big corpor ations keep accounting offices outside Nebraska and therefore pay no intangible tax on cash and .credit accounts. " The firms do not list on March 1 for'tax purpose, , goods in warehouse as of that date, claiming a new law passed by the legislature requiring this does not apply to them. Carpenter said some firms have been getting special tax advantages in that the state law allows the groups to assess themselves. Then there has been the prob lem of county assessors discus sed. Carpenter, who for all pract ical purposes, is the committee because of the time he is spend-in1-; on the investigation, said the State Tax Commissioner ly because of safety features of PHONE 241 should be given more author ity regarding assessors. The legislature should also give the commsisioner more funds, perhaps as much as a half million dollars. This money, reasons Carpen ter, would permit the commis sioner to check the work of lo cal assessors in every county. In addition, people should back up their assessors when they are faced with a showdown with big tax paying individuals or organizations, Carpenter said. This is not now the case un iversally and as a result, the Scottsbluff senator said, the home owner is getting "murd ered" bcause he is the only property owner paying at 100 per cent of actual value. Big out of state firms should be required by law to keep re cords locally, for tax purposes, Carpenter commented. He ad ded that a law giving oil comp anies special tax rights should be repealed. Observers said the zeal and vigor of the investigation is go ing to produce some strong leg islation for the 1959 legislature to consider, thus resulting in a better equalization of the tax load. Carpenter himself has prom ised, funds or no funds, what ever looms in the way an obs tacle will be met and overcome because he feels tax cheating has "been feeding upon itself" for long enough and now is the time to try to remedy the sit uation. He has also gone as far as to ask some firms to produce copies of their federal income tax return, so they can be com pared with the amount of prop erty turned in to Nebraska for state tax purposes. The returns can be obtained ! legally and are going to be us ed more often by state officials. Koad Safety One of the big, but somewhat intangible, features of the prop osed interstate highway across ; Nebraska will be the safety ad i vantages. 1 Nation-wide, a safety official I 4,000 lives will be saved annual ly because of safety features of the new fiiur-lane s'uperhighp way. M. R. Darinlgton Jr.. Wash ington, managing director of Safety Committee, said safety features on the route will be the same as those which reduc ed fated accident on toll roads. Down Memory Lane )r YEARS ACO Cass County Farm II urea u held the 19th annual meeting at Weeping Water and drew a large attendance from over the county. The program was largely devoted to local people telling of work in the coun ty. Mrs. Everett Spangler of iMurray, Mrs. VV. A. (1st of Nehawka, Mrs. K. A. Kuelm of Murdock, told of the work of the var ious organizations in the county, Miss Evelyn Wolph, state president of the Home Demonstration Council talked on the work of the organization. Mrs. Howard Capwell of Elmwood told of also of the council work. Mrs. K. E. Morris, county 1-11 club chairman talked of the 4-1 1 work in the state and county as did Clyde Althouse of Eagle A trio of Plattsmouth youths, chilled by the approaching winter season, left for Florida via auto. Tom Kriskey, Ro bert Slavicek and Don McCarroll formed the party Plattsmouth lodge No. G, A.F. A. M. elected officers for the year nam ing Anderson Lloyd as master, J. li. Keed er, senior w arden, Ralph Wchrbein, junior warden, Frank A. Cloidt, treasurer and L. W. Niel secretary. Rev. J. C. Lowson was a guest and gave a most interesting talk Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Taenzler, Mrs. J. II. Graves and Mrs. William Iliner were dele gates of the First Christian church to luncheon of the Child Saving Institute in Omaha. The Institute is operated by the Christian church of Nebraska Mrs. II. F. Hendricks from south of the city de parted for Omaha to make her future home. nr YEARS ACO 0J Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hrubacher of this city are happy over the fact that they are grandparents a daughter being born to Mr. and Mrs. Gus Hrubacher of Murray. She has been christened Beverly Ann The jury in the case of the Estate of Henry W. Ketelhut, deceased, after a four day hearing returned a verdict sustaining the will. The case had been in litigation since May 1925. The case was tried in county court and the will admitted to probate, where a jury denied the validity of the will. It was then taken to the supreme court w here it was remaded for a new trial and with the result the will was sustained George Murray, was charged with break ing and entering the high school building. He made a plea of guilty and was sentenc ed to from two to five years in the peni tentiary by Judge James T. Ilegley. Everybody would like to have a gov ernment that can operate without taxes and yet give the people the benefits of mo dern times. The solution to most problems will be heard if you listen to the next three men that you observe in conversation. There will be no cross traf fic at the same level. Vehicles can enter and leave the, road only at certain, limited points and a wide strip of land will separate the two opposing lanes of traffic. Power Line The State Railway Commis sion has indicated it is probab ly going to give the green light to two groups to build a 230 kilovolt line from Ft. Randall, S. D. Applications for such a per mit have been received from the Nebraska Electric Gener ation and Transmission Co-operative of West Point, and the Consumers Public Power Dis trict of Columbus. Before the case went before the Railway Commission the two groups agreed not to op pose each other's application. Legally, the commission can only approve the requests as to safety and whether they would interfere with existing facilities. It can not determine which of the two groups should build the line. Bringing power down from the South Dakota dam to meet high summer demands in Ne braska has been the source of controversy, much of it politic al, for a long time. But, it ap pears the federal government will have to decide which can carry the power. A group of officials repres enting the G&T plans to go to a commitment from the Bur eau of Reclamation on acquir ing power from Ft. Randall. Washington Trip Gov. Victor Anderson's trip to Washington last week for a state-federal meeting on feder al grant-in-aid programs was made in a Nebraska Guard Plane. Several advisors of the governor accompanied him. His office said the plane was on a military mission and was not flown to Washington spec ifically for the governor. Normally, the C-47 makes a trip on military business about every six weeks, the govern or's office said. Gov. Anderson is a member of a committee which has been studying, with federal offic ials, the possibility of trans ferring to the states, several federal aid programs. alona; with funds to run them locally. It was felt this would cut the overla act on the programs and save taxpayers money. What Did I Do? NEHAWKA NEWS Mrs. F. O.
